Call for African fintech applications for the special edition of CATAPULT in Dubai

Building on the success of previous editions of CATAPULT: Inclusion Africa, the LHoFT Foundation is hosting a special edition this year from 21 to 23 March 2022 in Dubai.

This 4th special edition of CATAPULT will once again leverage the Luxembourgish inclusive finance and fintech ecosystem to help selected companies develop their business and achieve their inclusion goals. The selected companies will have unique exposure to the Dubai financial and fintech ecosystem with the support of DIFC Fintech Hive Dubai. ADA will be one of ten Luxembourgish organisations to join the LHoFT team on site to provide training and mentoring.

The three-day programme will end with a pitching session and a gala evening at the Luxembourgish Pavilion at the World Expo 2022 in the presence of the Luxembourgish Minister of the Economy as well as for Cooperation and Humanitarian Affairs, Franz Fayot.

The LHoFT Foundation has been organising the CATAPULT programme for companies focused on financial inclusion in Africa and in the MENA region since 2018 to highlight initiatives of the Luxembourgish financial centre that are aligned with the sustainability goals. This fintech coaching programme usually takes place over one or two weeks in Luxembourg and aims to provide guidance to fintechs. ADA has been a partner of this programme since the first edition.

Applications are open until 27 February 2022!

All information on the programme and on the application procedure is available on the CATAPULT website.
